Tucana
is a herb sickle, used for clearing away undergrowth, gathering herbs,
cutting broccoli stems and harvesting salad leaves, or even for
cutting mistletoe. The blade is spliced into the oiled ash handle.
Its hand-shaped, curved bronze blade has been sharpened on both
the concave inner and straight outer sides, to allow cutting with
both inward and outward strokes.
The
outer blade is also used for cutting clean scions and notches
when grafting.
It
is not suitable for cutting older wood.
As
the blade is cut by hand, each sickle will be slightly
different from the next. You may be able to see the lines
from the grindstone, from when the blade was sharpened.
